[bitbake-devel] Exception on error

[Burton, Ross]

Hi,

Just got this error when bitbake was shutting down after a failed parse:

ERROR: An uncaught exception occured in runqueue, please see the failure below:
ERROR: Running idle function
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ross/Yocto/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/server/process.py", line

    >                retval = function(self, data, False)
                     if retval is False:

    >                retval = rq.execute_runqueue()
                 except runqueue.TaskFailure as exc:

    >        signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, self.oldsigchld)
             self._teardown_worker(self.worker, self.workerpipe)
TypeError: signal handler must be signal.SIG_IGN, signal.SIG_DFL, or a
callable object

I can look into this maybe tomorrow but hopefully someone will
recognise it as a simple fix and send a patch first.
